Description

--Armor Is Better--

  • Adds 14 custom armor enchants and a new base armor mechanic to Minecraft 26.1.2 Fabric

--Base Feature--

  • Every armor piece has a chance to fully deflect mob damage based on material tier (leather 2% → netherite 12% per piece). Full netherite set ≈ 48% dodge chance against mobs Deflects play a shield-clang sound + crit particles and cancel the hit entirely

--Combat Enchants--

  • Charged (L1-3) - absorbs incoming damage as stored energy, release with G for a ranged shockwave. Includes a boss-bar-style HUD overlay
  • Might (L1-5) - stacks melee damage up to +15 hearts across pieces, uses attribute modifiers
  • Vampiric (L1-3) - heals a % of melee damage dealt back to you (capped at 100% lifesteal)
  • Hot (L1) - burns anything touching you + auto-smelts ore drops nearby

--Defensive Enchants--

  • Resistant (L1-5) - flat % damage reduction, L5 = full immunity above 50% durability, scales down past that
  • Plating (L1-4) - stacks knockback resistance across pieces up to full immobility

--Utility Enchants--

  • Feathery (L1-4) - periodic hunger + saturation refill, emits a trail of real feather sprites (chestplate-only)
  • Aquatic (L1-2) - water breathing + underwater mining speed; L2 adds Dolphin's Grace
  • Momentum (L1-3) - permanent movement speed, stacks across all pieces
  • Swift (L1-4) - boots-only speed matching vanilla Speed tiers
  • Adrenaline (L1-5) - Regen + Speed when at or below 3 hearts
  • Greed (L1-3) - multiplies mob drops up to 7× with full stacking + Reactor

--Meta Enchant--

  • Reactor (L1-4) - gold-tooltip "Reactor-Powered" enchant that amplifies all other armor enchant effects by ×1.25 / 1.50 / 1.75 / 2.00

--Curse Enchant--

  • Curse of Malice — armor slowly drains your life via magic damage that bypasses all resistance. Shows in red, will kill you if unequipped too late
